The Truth is out There

Stephen E. Braude is one of the few mainstream academics applying his intellectual

training to questions that many would regard at best as impossible to answer, and at

worst absolutely ridiculous: Do psychic readings phenomena exist? Are mediums and ghosts

real? Can people move objects with their minds or predict the future? A professor of

philosophy at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, Braude is a past

president of the Parapsychological Association, an organization that gathers

academics and others interested in phenomena like extra-sensory perception (ESP) and

psychokinesis, and he has published a series of books with well-known academic

presses on such topics. In this article, the author describes the life and works of

Braude. The author also describes how Braude embraced the study of paranormal after

experiencing it with his friends.
